This place is like Disneyland for drinking alcohol. Three separate vineyards, each with a very unique vibe, and a brewery all tucked in together in one beautiful location overlooking Seneca Lake. From wine in test tubes to Candied Apple Slushies made from delicious hard cider, there's something for everyone right here on site. We had a fantastic time chatting with our beer expert at the bar, Matthew. He encouraged us to try a few extra samples of their cider. Try the Cherry Limeade! Unreal! A must visit if you're in the region.
